There are various definitions of organic from government and private organizations. Compliance is another matter. As for whether the concept of eating organic has value, well-sourced studies increasingly attribute declining sperm levels and rising endocrine disorders to persistent chemical pollutants. Call me an environmentalist scold, but maintaining male fertility and avoiding having ten year old kids enter full on puberty seem like worthy objectives.
I won’t quite call you a scold but I think:
- most stuff used on produce is fine
- stuff is in the atmosphere and soil and gets into the so called organic anyway and
- most puberty issues are from soy ingredients and kids being in drugs
